## Summary

Aberdeenshire Council has recently completed a procurement process for the title "School Counsellor Training and Supervision," aimed at enhancing educational services through the training of school counsellors. The procurement, which falls under the services category in the education and training industry, utilised an open procedure to solicit bids. The procurement stage has concluded, with an active award made to Therapeutic Counselling Services Ltd for a contract valued at £163,777, signed on 1st February 2021. The training and supervision services are to be delivered in Aberdeenshire, a region in the United Kingdom.

This tender represents a compelling opportunity for businesses involved in training and counselling services to expand their operations. Companies specialising in educational training, particularly those with capabilities in counselling and supervision for both trainee and qualified professionals, would find themselves well-positioned to compete. As the contract primarily targets the training of a mix of newly created and existing school counsellors in Scotland, organisations with expertise in personnel training services or vocational education should consider positioning themselves to benefit from similar future procurement initiatives.

## Notice

Train trainee school counsellors to complete a diploma in counselling, and provide supervision, support and impact reporting for both trainee and qualified counsellors.

### Lot Information

Lot 1

The 2018-19 Programme for Government stated that around 350 new counsellor positions would be created in Scotland. Each local authority has been allocated funding to implement this. Aberdeenshire Council (the Council) has been unable to recruit enough qualified, accredited counsellors with appropriate experience of working with children and young people to meet this expectation. The Council will therefore recruit a combination of qualified School Counsellors and Trainee School Counsellors, the latter of which will be sponsored to undertake a diploma in counselling. The successful tenderer will be responsible for training and supervising trainee school counsellors (10) as well as supervising already qualified counsellors (2).
